What is Shepard Fairey’s piece called “Greyson Fletcher - The Harmony Of Form And Style”?
Artist Statement
I made this illustration of Greyson Fletcher based on a fantastic photo at the Venice skatepark (which just turned 15) by Dan Levy of Juice Magazine. Of course, this image depicts the style and impressive height of Greyson's frontside ollie over the hip, but more importantly, it captures the beauty of form and function in perfect harmony, represented by the symbiotic relationship between the transitions of Venice Park and Greyson's graceful adaptation to said transitions. Greyson is an all-terrain master on a skateboard, and his fluid style is a reminder that it's not a battle of old school vs. new school tricks (Greyson slays both), but more importantly, that every trick has that skater's unmistakable flair and style. These prints will be signed by me, Greyson, and Dan. - Shepard I'm beyond stoked to be in one of Shepard Fairey's pieces of art. He is an artistic genius! The piece came out insane! Dan nailed it on the shot and Shepard crushed it with his twist. Thanks Juice Magazine, Thanks Dan, Terri, and Shepard. - Greyson Fletcher Where style matters, style stands out, which is an important factor in this collaboration. To match Greyson's style and Shepard's style together is monumental and iconic and I could not be more honored or excited. - Dan Levy PRINT DETAILS:?

Why It Matters
This print pairs Fairey's roots in skateboarding culture with a three-way collaboration honoring skater Greyson Fletcher and photographer Dan Levy of Juice Magazine. Based on Levy's photo at the Venice skatepark, the image depicts Fletcher's frontside ollie over the hip, but Fairey emphasizes a deeper idea: the harmony of form and function expressed in the symbiotic relationship between the park's transitions and Fletcher's graceful adaptation to them. Fairey frames style itself as the subject, rejecting an old-school-versus-new-school framing in favor of each skater's unmistakable flair. For collectors, the appeal lies in the convergence of skate culture, photography, and Fairey's graphic illustration, reinforced by the triple signature of artist, athlete, and photographer, which adds provenance and rarity of authorship. The Venice skatepark setting, noted as having just turned 15, gives the piece a sense of place within Southern California skate history. At $75 in an edition of 500 it is accessible, rewarding buyers who connect Fairey's work to skateboarding, action photography, and youth culture rather than to overt political messaging. It is a clear fit for collectors of his collaborative and pop-culture output.
Collector Perspective
This print appeals to skateboarding-culture collectors, fans of Juice Magazine and action photography, and followers of Fairey's collaborative pop-culture work. The dynamic image of Greyson Fletcher's frontside ollie at the Venice skatepark gives it energetic wall presence, and the triple signature by Fairey, Fletcher, and Dan Levy adds provenance appeal and authorship rarity. At $75 in an edition of 500 it is accessible and displays well in a skate- or sports-themed grouping or alongside Fairey's other collaborations. The Southern California skate setting and Fairey's own skateboarding roots broaden its appeal beyond fine-art collectors. It is a strong, affordable pick for buyers connecting Fairey to skate and youth culture.
Historical Context
The print reflects Fairey's longstanding ties to skateboarding and street culture, the milieu from which his early career emerged, now expressed through a 2024 collaboration with skater Greyson Fletcher and Juice Magazine photographer Dan Levy. By illustrating Fletcher at the Venice skatepark, Fairey connects his graphic style to a specific Southern California skate landmark and to action photography. The triple-signed format underscores the collaborative ethos that recurs across his catalog, here uniting artist, athlete, and photographer. It belongs to Fairey's contemporary pop-culture output, extending his pattern of translating documentary photographs of cultural figures into editioned screen prints while honoring the subject's craft and style.
